It is not usual for men in the seventies to turn
to fiction as pastime. but Mr.. Jefferson Davis
seems likely to constitute himself exception
to the rule. He has a lively imagination, and
did not in his bout with Douglas show much
regard for truth, yet nobody looked in his direc

Mr.. Davis may have received such a letter

romance to make such popping unexpected. We
suggest this fair accounting for his cock.

occasions. It is lucky thing that the bullets
missed their mark. otherwise the world would
not have the pleasure of reading these

genuine pleasure to read about things that do
not happen.
